Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are related to a method and system for identifying linked electronic mails by receiving a query from a user, wherein the query comprises at least a segment of an electronic mail; and based on the segment received, rendering to the user at least one of related subsets or a related supersets of electronic mails related to the received segment, wherein the related subsets and related supersets are threads of the segment received and arranged in a hierarchical manner.
Abstract:
A method (400) is disclosed of extracting factoids from text repositories, with the factoids being associated with a given factoid category. The method (400) starts by training a classifier (230) to recognize factoids relevant to that given factoid category. Documents or document summaries relevant to the given factoid category is next collected (410) from the text repositories. Sentences having a predetermined association to the given factoid category is extracted (420) from the documents or said document summaries. Those sentences are classified (440), in a noisy environment, using the classifier (230) to extract snippets containing phrases relevant to the given factoid category. It is the extracted snippets that are the factoid associated with the given factoid category.
Abstract:
A system and associated method for cross-guided data clustering by aligning target clusters in a target domain to source clusters in a source domain. The cross-guided clustering process takes the target domain and the source domain as inputs. A common word attribute shared by both the target domain and the source domain is a pivot vocabulary, and all other words in both domains are a non-pivot vocabulary. The non-pivot vocabulary is projected onto the pivot vocabulary to improve measurement of similarity between data items. Source centroids representing clusters in the source domain are created and projected to the pivot vocabulary. Target centroids representing clusters in the target domain are initially created by conventional clustering method and then repetitively aligned to converge with the source centroids by use of a cross-domain similarity graph that measures a respective similarity of each target centroid to each source centroid.

Abstract:
A method (100) of crawling the Web (620) is disclosed. The method (100) crawls (120) Web pages on the Web starting from a given (110) set of seed Universal Resource Locators (URLs). Crawled Web pages are partitioned (140) into sets of relevant and irrelevant pages. A set of exclusion and/or inclusion patterns are discovered (150) from the sets of relevant and irrelevant pages, and subsequent crawling of the Web is restricted through the set of exclusion and/or inclusion patterns.
Abstract:
Token sequences within a number of documents are annotated. First, a base inverse index for unique tokens within the documents is received. The base inverse index includes a set of the unique tokens within the documents and a set of location lists for each unique token. Second, indices are created for a set of the token sequences within the documents from the base inverse index, to annotate the token sequences.

Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products for automatically enforcing obligations in accordance with a data-handling policy are disclosed. Requests by users for accessing data stored in a data repository are intercepted. A determination is made whether any obligations apply to each data item requested in accordance with the data handling policy. The determination may relate to whether rules having associated obligations identified in the data-handling policy apply to data items requested by a user. The obligations are automatically executed at an appropriate time after access of the data. Association of a data item requested by the user with an obligation may be recorded and tracked to determine the appropriate time for executing the obligation.
Abstract:
A plurality of segments in an e-mail collection by parsing content of e-mails is generated. Corresponding segment signature for each segment is created and a signature index is populated using the generated segment signatures. After receiving a query e-mail, a plurality of query segments in the query e-mail is generated using content of the query e-mail and corresponding query segment signature for each query segment is generated. A query root segment is identified and corresponding query root segment signature is generated. A set of root segment signatures of the signature index is identified and the query root segment signature is compared with each root segment signature from the signature index. A subset of the signature index is identified, using a match between the root segment signature and the query root segment signature. An e-mail thread hierarchy is built using the identified subset of the signature index.
Abstract:
According to example configurations, a speech processing system can include a syntactic parser, a word extractor, word extraction rules, and an analyzer. The syntactic parser of the speech processing system parses the utterance to identify syntactic relationships amongst words in the utterance. The word extractor utilizes word extraction rules to identify groupings of related words in the utterance that most likely represent an intended meaning of the utterance. The analyzer in the speech processing system maps each set of the sets of words produced by the word extractor to a respective candidate intent value to produce a list of candidate intent values for the utterance. The analyzer is configured to select, from the list of candidate intent values (i.e., possible intended meanings) of the utterance, a particular candidate intent value as being representative of the intent (i.e., intended meaning) of the utterance.
